Hurts! Shopia Empress

eps. 2: Don't Expect More

"Empress." Sapa a servant who looked down. "Sorry to interrupt the Queen's time. Outside there's Duke Luke who wants to see the Empress." 

Empress Shopia let go of her embrace. He wiped the traces of tears on both of his cheeks. His footsteps rushed out of his room to his study. The wide door was opened by Elma's servant.

"Empress." The middle-aged woman looked down. Even though he was dealing with his daughter. But now that her status had been different, her daughter had become an Empress, the First Lady of this Empire. "Dad, what's wrong?" Empress Sophia asked by pulling both corners of her lips making an arch. Her cheeks are getting deeper. Makes it look sweet.

"How's the Empress doing?" Since Emperor Raymond decided to remarry, his heart was very restless, he could not focus on his work. The only daughter of his puppet was in sorrow. There is no woman who is not hurt to see her husband making out with other women. What else is his past. He had already forbidden his daughter from agreeing to Emperor Raymond's request, leaving her a mistress without status.

"Did you worry about me?" As he expected, his father would worry about his condition. "I'm fine Dad." Its effects. But in reality, his heart was in pain.

"How is the Queen's relationship with Her Majesty?" Finally the question appeared in his heart with fear. She could not imagine her daughter in a golden cage without happiness.

If he could refuse, he would refuse. He thought the harmony would last a long time, but otherwise.

"Relationship, why is everyone asking about my relationship? Does my current relationship make them fret or do they think my relationship is a joke,"

Empress Sophia let out a heavy sigh. His ears often listen to the conversation of the waiter who asks about his relationship. At that moment he was walking leisurely, looking for fresh air. His ears caught something.

"Didn't you feel like there was something different about His Majesty?" Ask the short-haired waiter. 

"Baginda often spends her time with her concubine" said the waiter, wearing glasses.

"I feel very sorry for the Empress for her relationship with Her Majesty" the other servant argued as he mopped the white marble floor.

Duke Luke was not feeling well, at the sight of his daughter's face was certainly his heart felt uncomfortable. "Is there anyone who asks as you ask?"

Empress Shopia agreed with a nod. Actually the waiter was not blasphemous, but just feeling sorry.

"They just feel pity, don't blaspheme Dad."

Empress Shopia sipped her tea. Only the middle-aged man he had. His mother is dead. Only the man supported her.

"Father did not end up thinking with His Majesty's thoughts."

Duke Luke denies his daughter's words. He also married for matchmaking. But with time, he and his wife had feelings. The relationship that he saw himself, usually the Empress and Emperor Raymond already had a taste even a little. 

But now, he found it very difficult to cultivate the love between the two. Because the barrier of the past has returned.

"But the Empress, your relationship is very comfortable. If you look, the Empress and her Majesty already love her."

"Should I say what Duke is like? We're just married to each other."

"Go home, if it can't be maintained. Betendrix's residence is wide open to the Empress."

Empress Shopia shook her head slowly. She is now an empress. It was not easy to enter, then come out as he pleased. You have to think a thousand times if you decide to end it.

"I'm not a princess anymore, but an empress. I never wanted it, I wanted to live free. As for myself, my life is here on my father's side."

The Empress Dowager Sophi broke apart instantly. Escaping responsibility for personal matters is not his desire. At least he should be responsible, not running just because of the storm.

Duke Luke, getting crowded. From a long time ago, he had spoiled the woman in front of him. Never did his daughter make him angry. What he ordered and forbade, his daughter always obeyed him.

Unable to stand it, Duke Luke got up. Then give respect. It was not that he did not want to calm his daughter down, but his heart was too sore to see his daughter cry. He did not have the heart, he hoped that someday there would be light in his daughter's life.

All the way in the palace corridor. Duke Luke walked over blankly. Until the knight touches his shoulder, disperse his reverie.

"Sir, there is Sire."

Duke Luke gives his due respect when dealing with the ruler. "Duke,"

Duke Luke smiled wryly, for a moment he glanced in dislike at the woman in Emperor Raymond's arm who was swaying in his right arm.

While the one in the face is just relaxed, then throw away face.
